Field Notes
Description:
Pair of African Oryx spotted just before sunset, south of the White Sands Missile Range, NM. The Oryx were grazing by the side of the road, but when I stopped my vehicle the quickly retreated back into the tall grass making it difficult to photograph them well.
Habitat:
African Oryx are gazelles originally from the Kalahari region of Africa. In 1969 the New Mexico Game and Fish Department released African Oryx on the White Sands Missile Range as part of its exotic animal introduction program.
